Libby, the “City of Eagles.” A town in extreme northwest Montana surrounded by more than two million acres of wilderness. It lies along the turquoise waters of the Kootenai River surrounded by pristine streams and lakes. When Doc Conrad Lindstrom brings his family to Libby, the lumber mill and the vermiculite mine are thriving industries. His wife Anna plays the small pump organ at church. His older son, Nicholas, builds model ships and makes his own exquisite fishing flies. Younger son, Trygve, debates his future: he’s struggling to decide: poet laureate, or maybe an entomologist. At age six, Tryg races into the family cabin, pursued by a horde of angry wasps. His mother screams. Sherlock, the family basset howls and hides under the bed. Conrad starts swinging a broom. Chaos reigns. Or as Conrad says, “Just a typical Saturday night.” Tryg age 10, catches (and loses) a monster brown trout on the Madison River. He goes on his first (and last) elk hunt at age 12 and officially becomes a man after completing Libby’s unique rite of passage. At 18 he and best friend Otto challenge Jennings Rapids in the family’s tiny 12-foot boat. Meet a few of Libby’s “dear hearts and gentle people” in Trygve Lindstrom: Tales from Libby, Montana.

Tribesmen murdered in Papua New Guinea. A shaman brutally killed in the Amazon. Mercenary commandos infiltrating biolabs across the globe. Billionaire Umberto Morton will stop at nothing to assure he is the first to patent the Fountain of Youth. He has transformed his worldwide pharmaceutical empire to a single effort; he calls it the Methuselah Project. Welcome to Madagascar: land of exotic spiders, land leeches, jumping rats, crocodiles, hissing cockroaches, and the mysterious predator called the fossa. And maybe, land that is hiding a secret elixir, the Fountain of Youth. Harvard entomologist, Trygve Lindstrom, has accepted Morton’s generous six-month sabbatical to a remote village in Madagascar. For centuries, mariner’s reports and missionary accounts claim that these reclusive villagers, the Rock People, may have found the secret to youth and longevity. Lindstrom scoffs at the tales, but leaps at a chance to collect and study rare bugs. In time, he is accepted by the villagers, especially the children who joyfully accompany him on his collecting journeys. Then the unthinkable happens. Morton sends two armed commandoes to Madagascar. Lindstrom is determined to protect his beloved villagers and their sacred secret. But what can he do against armed intruders?
